If thats the case then thank god there are more out there... I get sooo sick of the "use the force luke" approach... my teachers describe Qi in terms of body mechanics and breathing... NOT as Yoda would...

Yoda would totally ruin your teacher's ****. He'd be like "Yours Up." and then force push him off of a cliff.

I'm sure if you were to translate the mystical conception of chi into Western terms, it would turn out to be 'body mechanics'. Yellow bamboo and rad ki specialists are entirely different stories--instead of understanding 'chi' as body mechanics like Chen did, they blew up the mysticism that surrounds chi to Dragonball-like proportions.
